Mid year assessment in the honors option
Saturday, December 15, 2007
With the semester winding down, it's time for students enrolled in the honors option to begin the process of reflecting on their work so far this year. The first part of that involves a reflective essay which is due Dec. 20.
Then, in January, students are required to submit a mid-year portfolio to their English 10 teachers. The portfolio will be used to assess whether students are satisfying the honors-level expectations. Details on the reflective essay and portfolio can be found here.
In addition to the portfolio, honors students will take an additional SAT-type vocabulary exam administered during the regular exam period. Students should have the list of 55 words and should be studying them on a regular basis each night in order to be ready for the exam.
Students or parents can get more details from their English 10 teachers.
